Lucky for me, I had the great pleasure of joining my comrades later in the day for a behind-the-scenes look at our Diamond Dash Wedding Show. As you might imagine, setting up for a wedding show takes lots of hard work, but the PWG crew doesn\u2019t mess around! To maintain the well-oiled machine of the Diamond Dash, it took countless cups of coffee to keep up with all its moving parts. By the end of the day, however, the caffeine hangover was definitely worth it!<\/p>\n<p>It was such a pleasure to see and participate in all the action of the Diamond Dash. As the wedding show came underway, I got to mingle with happy brides-to-be and explore the various displays and vendors throughout the showroom. Among them were the gals from\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/pennysmiths.com\/home.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pennysmiths Paper<\/a>, who specialize in the most beautiful wedding stationery this side of the Mississippi! In addition, <a href=\"http:\/\/mycharlottesflowers.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Charlotte&#8217;s Flowers<\/a> was present with their elegant silk flower arrangements. At the same time, some lucky ladies were pampered by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.blisssalonabq.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bliss Salon &amp; Spa<\/a>. And who could forget the amazing fashion show by <a href=\"http:\/\/bridalelegancenm.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bridal Elegance<\/a>? Darlene&#8217;s dresses were absolutely breathtaking!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9064\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9064\" style=\"width: 656px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/pwgnm.files.wordpress.com\/2017\/03\/p3.jpg\" data-lightbox=\"gal[9118]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-9064\" src=\"https:\/\/pwgnm.files.wordpress.com\/2017\/03\/p3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"656\" height=\"796\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-9064\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pennysmiths Paper<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9119\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9119\" style=\"width: 656px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/pwgnm.files.wordpress.com\/2017\/03\/charlottes-flowers.jpg\" data-lightbox=\"gal[9118]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-9119\" src=\"https:\/\/pwgnm.files.wordpress.com\/2017\/03\/charlottes-flowers.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"656\" height=\"872\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-9119\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Charlotte&#8217;s Flowers<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9122\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9122\" style=\"width: 656px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/pwgnm.files.wordpress.com\/2017\/03\/bliss.jpg\" data-lightbox=\"gal[9118]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-9122\" src=\"https:\/\/pwgnm.files.wordpress.com\/2017\/03\/bliss.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"656\" height=\"437\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-9122\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bliss Salon &amp; Spa<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9121\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9121\" style=\"width: 656px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/pwgnm.files.wordpress.com\/2017\/03\/bridal-elegance.jpg\" data-lightbox=\"gal[9118]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-9121\" src=\"https:\/\/pwgnm.files.wordpress.com\/2017\/03\/bridal-elegance.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"656\" height=\"755\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-9121\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bridal Elegance by Darlene<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9120\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9120\" style=\"width: 656px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/pwgnm.files.wordpress.com\/2017\/03\/bridal-elegance-1.jpg\" data-lightbox=\"gal[9118]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-9120\" src=\"https:\/\/pwgnm.files.wordpress.com\/2017\/03\/bridal-elegance-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"656\" height=\"875\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-9120\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bridal Elegance by Darlene<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\">Don&#8217;t miss out on our next wedding show, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.perfectweddingguide.com\/events\/bride-s-night-out-16340\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bride&#8217;s Night Out<\/a>, coming up this June at\u00a0Hotel Andaluz!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\">For more on everything Wedding + Wedding Planning, visit us at:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.perfectweddingguide.com\/location\/new-mexico\/albuquerque\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">PerfectWeddingGuide.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While most of us were still counting sheep the morning of the Diamond Dash Wedding Show (earlier this month), the Perfect Wedding Guide crew was busy with all the preparations by the time we rolled out of bed and shuffled our way to the kitchen for our morning java.
